Chapter 718: Solidified Flames
It was never an easy task to act as a blood sacrifice for the fire of Taiyin, Mu Xingqiu not only had to endure the pain of blood sucking, but also had to keep the illusion at the eighth layer, the former was distracted, the latter was concentrated, he confined all his senses, and was ignorant of the outside world until Yi Shijun woke him up.
"Hey, Nian Xin Illusion ......" Yi Shijun held his right wrist and laughed a few times, he just slapped Mu Xingqiu with his right hand, but he was counterattacked, and was almost attacked into the meridians by illusion, and he was pinching his wrist to protect himself at this time.
Mu Xingqiu recovered his ability to see and see, and found that there were flames all around and above his head, and the passage opened by the Taiyin Fire had disappeared, and he obviously entered the center of the Distant Ancestral Fire, but these flames were very special, they were solid, they obviously had the form of fire, but they did not have the publicity and heat of fire, they stood still, like a red iceberg, and Mu Xingqiu could even feel the slightest coolness.
The place is small, round, less than a hundred steps in diameter, slightly mound, overgrown with unknown weak weeds, and the color is bleak, and only when they are connected can a touch of green be revealed.
In front of Mu Xingqiu stood the old man in the form of Yi Shijun, and not far behind him stood the Golem, he glanced around, and asked a little confusedly, "Where is the tree?"
It is said that a sacred tree was imprisoned and roasted in the fire of the Far Wilderness Ancestor, but as far as the eye could see, there was no shadow of the tree at all, and none of the wild grasses on the ground seemed to be able to grow into a towering tree.
Yi Shijun shook his right hand, and finally expelled the illusion that entered his palm, and then whispered in a mysterious tone, "You take a closer look." ”
Mu Xingqiu turned around, "Let's stand inside the tree?"
Yi Shijun nodded. "The Dao Fire has been burning for more than 130,000 years, and the Divine Tree is not unscathed, it has been blocking the flames with its own branches. It was almost exhausted, and only a thin layer of bark remained, and the weeds on the ground were actually the roots of the sacred tree. ”
"It looks like the Divine Tree won't last long. Mu Xingqiu finally saw a clue, the divine tree still had a thin layer of transparent shell, about three inches thick, but it could make the flames condense. Prevent hot gases from entering.
Yi Shijun stretched out his hand and pointed, "Look, that's where we came in." The Divine Tree was able to block the Dao Fire, but it did not intercept the Taiyin Fire. ”
Mu Xingqiu saw that there was a small fire shaking near the ground, trying to squeeze in. But the momentum is getting smaller. It won't be long before it will be cut off by the transparent shell.
Yi Shijun suddenly raised his voice and shouted, the sound surged back and forth, and the transparent shell revealed blood-red veins, varying in thickness and criss-cross, and the ends all stretched out of the shell, deep into the inside of the Dao Fire.
"Got it?" Yi Shijun lowered his voice again, and the blood-red veins gradually disappeared again.
"The Divine Tree is absorbing the power of Dao Fire. ”
"Hmm. Therefore, it is not only the sacred tree that 'will not last long', but also the Dao fire. Moreover, the Dao fire will be extinguished earlier, and as long as there is still one root left, the sacred tree will be able to grow into a big tree again. That's why a Taoist priest had to be sent in to strengthen the Dao Fire, and why Fang Xunmo wanted to ask the demons for help. ”
Yi Shijun laughed briefly, as if he suddenly remembered a particularly interesting little thing, "Also, this is why you are standing here." You, Mu Xingqiu, and I, Yi Shijun, every step they took was within the calculation of the Dao system, and they expected it, and they didn't even need to urge and persuade, just watch from the sidelines. ”
As he spoke, some of the roots on the ground had grown five or six feet tall along the two legs of the golem, and the priceless silver armor was vulnerable to the attack of these weak roots, like succulent leaves gnawed by a swarm of caterpillars, which gradually disappeared in a rustling sound, revealing the gray-white body of the wood carving, and then quickly covered by the roots.
The roots fed by the silver spirit are darker, giving the golem a layer of emerald green.
Mu Xingqiu and Yi Shijun did not interfere, since this was a battle between super strong people, there was no need for them to worry about either side.
The tendrils finally swallowed all the silver spirits, and the three-foot-tall golem became a green pillar, and there was only one place in its body that avoided the cover of the roots, and in its heart, the long-shriveled heart was gone, replaced by a complete demon seed, the same shape as the Nebula Tree's seed, only larger, like an oval-shaped green bean.
The demon seed is also green, but it is completely different from the green of the roots, like a pond overgrown with aquatic plants and moss, showing a chill in the moonlight.
"The demon seed is talking, do you hear me?" asked Yi Shijun with great interest, forgetting the current predicament for a moment.
Mu Xingqiu nodded.
"Hehe, what I heard is the ancient language of the demons, but I taught myself this language, well, I learned it well......
The other Shijun chattered, but Mu Xingqiu just listened quietly, and what came into his ears was human language, and the content was simple and clear: There is no way to destroy the Divine Tree with only Dao Fire, and the power of demonic erosion must be added.
What Mu Xingqiu had to do was to use the Demon Venerable Righteous Method to urge the spells that had already been poured into the Demon Seed, thereby triggering the power of abrasion, and then use his Inner Dan and Nian Heart Illusion to add the last firewood to the Dao Fire outside.
But how to ignite the Inner Dan, the demon seed did not say, that was not its task.
Mu Xingqiu didn't need to guess who to ask for answers, he looked down at the black bark in his hand, the young branches on it did not grow longer after they reached three feet, but branched out more branches and grew more leaves.
The information in the bark of the tree is all from the Dao system, and the method of igniting the inner dan is also hidden here, just like the abrasive power in the demon seed, he doesn't need to learn the method, as long as he injects enough mana, a qiē will happen naturally.
Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but laugh.
Yi Shijun himself had been laughing all kinds of times, but at this time, he was confused and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
"As you said, we're just two spells that are off course, but they end up hitting the caster's intended target. ”
"Well, that sounds like I said it. ”
"But I still haven't made a decision, I know what to do, but I don't feel compelled to do it. ”
Yi Shijun shook the scorched black tree root in his hand, "The information that the Fire Tree King got from the Dao Sect was very clear to me, and I have accurately conveyed it to you: only after strengthening the Dao Flame, can you use this tree root to create a ten-year illusion, which is the reward and threat of the Dao Sect to you." Do you want those demon slaves out there to have a good life? ”
"What if I do something wrong to the whole world?"
Yi Shijun was stunned, "What the hell are you thinking?"
"For the sake of the relatives in Yelin Town and those innocent demon slaves and people, I destroyed the Divine Tree to create an illusion, but if the Divine Tree is right? ”
Mu Xingqiu pointed to the patches of roots on the ground, "The point is, I haven't heard a word from the Divine Tree yet. ”
Yi Shijun thought for a moment, "I used to think I heard the instructions of the Divine Tree, but now I understand that the Divine Tree does not send any information to anyone at all, it does not even prevent us from entering the interior of the tree with the Golem, it doesn't care what you are going to do at all. ”
"It has been resisting the Dao Fire, which shows that it has a will and a mind of its own. ”
"The will and the mind of the sacred tree are here. Yi Shijun raised his hand above his head, and then pointed to the ground with the root of the tree in his right hand, "Your will and thoughts are here, I am one or two feet taller than you, but I am too far away from the Divine Tree to touch it at all, and the Divine Tree is silent to me, and I have nothing to say to you." Do you think I'd like to live only 10 years? I've made plans for the next few tens of thousands of years......
Yi Shijun nagged again, Mu Xingqiu listened with a pair, and continued to watch with his eyes, listen with his ears, smell with his nose, and feel with his body...... He even used illusion techniques to try to capture the feelings of the sacred tree.
The Divine Tree has no affection, and Mu Xingqiu hopes to find something similar to prove the existence of the Divine Tree.
For a moment he thought he had indeed found something, it was something that was like nothing, like love, but it was even weaker, like light smoke, and as soon as the illusion approached, the smoke dissipated. After a while, Mu Xingqiu understood that that thing did not belong to the Divine Tree at all, but a Five Elements Water Illusion.
"The Dao Tong is watching over us. Mu Xingqiu looked up, but his heavenly eyes could not penetrate the condensed flames.
"That's for sure, Dao Tong must see you ignite your own inner pill to rest assured. Yi Shijun began to sigh again, no matter how he calculated, he felt that ten years was not enough.
Mu Xingqiu became excited, "The spell of the Dao system can enter the state of stopping, and it can also send out the information, which means that this place is not completely sealed." ”
"I know what you're thinking, but it's useless, it's probably Fang Xunmo who is monitoring us, he is the only Taoist priest in the world who serves the moon, and he may still have the Dao Treasure in his hand, his spells can come in and out, can you? Can I? When you ignite the Inner Dan, the surveillance will end, and the Stop State will really be sealed, and you can't get out. ”
"You said that if Zuo Liuying enters Zhibang, he will strengthen the Dao Fire according to the arrangement of the Dao Sect, and then make himself stronger within ten years......"
"That's what I said? Actually, I'm guessing, and Zuo Liuying is Zuo Liuying, you are you, what can you do in ten years? Also, if you want to strengthen the Dao fire, you have to ignite your inner dan, which means that you have to start practicing again. With your qualifications, it would be a miracle that you could cultivate to the Smoke Swallowing Realm within ten years...... Alas, this path does not work. ”
Mu Xingqiu raised his voice and said to the ethereal Five Elements Water Illusion, and also said to the Taoist priests outside the state of stopping: "Ten years, I will use these ten years to return all the kindness of Pang Shan to me, and the Dao fire will not be extinguished, but from now on, you will have your Dao fire, and I will have my Dao fire." ”
Yi Shijun blinked, "That's a good point, but I don't think it's useful, and I don't think Dao Tong cares." ”
Mu Xingqiu smiled slightly, not worried that his words would be heard by the Dao Tong, "There is truth in the void, there is fiction in the truth, who said that ten years must be ten years?"
